Skill Set
Computer System Networking★★★★★★★★★★

I can easily set up and maintain a small-to-medium network. Anything larger I haven't tackled yet — but I'm a quick learner.

CompTIA A+★★★★★★★★★★

Studied thoroughly — just need to take the actual certification exam.

Linux / Unix OS★★★★★★★★★★

Installed and run many distributions — Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, Fedora, FreeBSD — and can install & compile software from guides. Not scripting or programming just yet.

WordPress CMS★★★★★★★★★★

Can install and maintain a WordPress site, add plugins, and edit them for compatibility. Haven't built my own templates yet.

HTML / CSS★★★★★★★★★★

I know quite a bit of HTML and can edit a pre-made template just fine, but can't build my own from scratch just yet.
